How to Make Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk (skim, almond, coconut, or whole), 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons Splenda (or 1/4 cup maple syrup/agave), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup chia seeds until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Divide the pudding evenly among four small serving dishes or jars.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
